How To...

How To Wear A Denim Shirt

After yesterday's Pick of the Day post, Melissa, from Write It In Lipstick got me thinking about how to wear a denim shirt.  Denim shirts are best paired with:

1. Skirts of almost any print or color and length
2. Shorts
3. Jeans
4. Black (jeans, leggings)
5. White jeans
6. Khaki

Here are a few pics to help give you some ideas...P.S. The first look is my absolute FAVORITE!

I also thought that Sydney, from THE DAYBOOK pulled off the denim on denim look quite well.  I think the trick to doing denim on denim is mixing the washes of the denim.  Do a light wash shirt with a dark wash jean (or vice versa) so it doesn't look like you are wearing a jean suit.

By the way...I am obsessed with all of these looks!  I want every outfit...seriously.  I especially love the first picture with the shirt, skirt, and belt.  I also really love the third pic with the suspenders.  Suspenders are awesome and I want to be in that outfit right now.  The fourth picture makes me think of myself in a music video hitchhiking somewhere or driving in an old red car (I love red) with the top down on a long highway and my hair blowing in the wind (only I look like a tan brazilian model in both fantasies).

I hope these looks help you to make your denim shirts more fashionable!  :o)  Ciao!

  2. Great! Love the different ideas on how to style the chambray top. I have one that kind of looks like denim that I can style in any of the looks you've shown.
